Grace

 For me, when the archangels saved my life at age 2 it completely changed the trajectory of my life from dying at age 2 to a life of Grace ever after. God wanted me to stay alive and to remain alive obviously when I was 2 but here I am still alive at age 73 still even though there are many many times when I expected to be dead soon along the way.

In my 20s I expected to be dead by 25 because of a broken heart on many different levels. I expected to grow up and marry a specific girl but then I couldn't grow up fast enough to marry her and had to let her go. This was heart rending for me. So, it was touch and go for me from about age 21 to age 25 when I got together with my first wife and we had a son. My son is now 47 years old and my first wife and I are still friends all these years later.

Divorce is often like dying in some ways too and I have been divorced twice even though I have been married to my third wife now since 1995. We will have been married 30 years by 2025 which is coming up soon by the way (3 years from now).

So, divorce is so much worse than any of you can imagine if you haven't actually been through one. And comparing divorce to dying is useful in that you do die in a divorce a lot and have to become someone new to go on with your life and move forward. And many people cannot move forward and stay in that state of grief the rest of their lives.

However, I'm someone who just moves forward and who creates a new life each time, if not for myself I do this for my children and also now my grandchildren. However, I believe I will be with my present wife ongoing from here on especially because I'm 73 now and she is 65 years old.

So, what is Grace?

Grace is God giving you an amazing life when you are able to see your life is a miracle every day and you are grateful for the miracle that your life is every single day.

For me, it is about being grateful for every moment I have left alive so I don't worry about dying like many people do. Death has been near to me since I was 2 years old. Death is normal.

But Life is a miracle that I live.

And the miracle every day that I'm still alive is ONLY by the Grace of God each and every moment.

So, Grace makes me grateful to God for life every moment I have left here on earth or beyond.

By God's Grace
